WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/strong> \u2013 Today, U.S. Senators Jacky Rosen (D-NV) and Roger Wicker (R-MS) were joined by Senators Maggie Hassan (D-NH) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) in introducing the bipartisan, bicameral Teacher Education for Computer Science Act (Teach CS Act), legislation that would support teacher training and schools in educating students in the area of computer science. The Senators introduced this bill during Computer Science Education Week, which is observed each year during the week of December 9th, to raise awareness about and encourage students to explore computer science.
\n 
\n\u201cAs a former computer programmer, I understand firsthand the value in computer science and how education in this field can open doors for students who are looking to pursue a career in STEM,\u201d dijo el Senador Rosen.<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019m working to extend educational opportunities to our students in Nevada and across the country, and that\u2019s why I\u2019m helping introducing the bipartisan Teach CS Act, a bill that will provide teachers and schools with the resources and preparations needed to provide our children with a 21st century education.\u201d
\n 
\n\u201cAddressing America\u2019s critical shortage of computer science graduates starts in the classroom,\u201d said Senator Wicker.<\/strong> \u201cThis legislation would make targeted changes to existing teacher education programs to place more qualified computer science instructors in our schools.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cIn the 21st century innovation economy, proficiency in computer science can be a real asset for young people preparing to enter the workforce \u2013 so it\u2019s critical that educators have the knowledge and training to help students learn computer science,\u201d said Senator Hassan.<\/strong> \u201cIn honor of Computer Science Education Week, I am proud to introduce this bipartisan legislation to strengthen STEM education in New Hampshire and across the country.\u201d  <\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to make sure our kids have the tools they need to succeed in the 21st century global economy,\u201d said Senator Romney.<\/strong> \u201cOur legislation will strengthen computer science curriculums in Utah and around the country and create more opportunities for students to gain important skills which our changing workforce demands.\u201d
\n 
\nBACKGROUND:<\/strong><\/u> The Teach CS Act would amend the Higher Education Act (HEA) to include computer science education eligibility for multiple teacher preparation grants and graduate fellowships, and authorize a new program for competitive grants for eligible institutions of higher education to establish centers of excellence in teacher education programs for computer science.
\n 
\nEarlier this year, Rep. Kilmer (WA-06) and Tom Reed (NY-23) introduced a similar version of the Teacher Education for Computer Science Act in the House of Representatives.  
\n 
\nThe Teach CS Act has been endorsed by Code.org, Microsoft, CSforAll, Girls Who Code, the Computer Science Teachers Association, the National Education Association, SEDTA, 100Kin10, the University of Nevada Reno, and the University of Nevada Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
